Summary
Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service has notified over 858,000 individuals of a data breach that occurred in 2023, where sensitive information was compromised. The company discovered unusual activity in May 2023, and further investigation revealed that between May 15 and May 23, an unauthorized actor had copied certain files containing personal and medical information. The breach impacts names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive data. Superior is now taking steps to notify affected individuals as per HIPAA regulations. Meanwhile, another ambulance service, DocGo, reported a similar cybersecurity incident but has yet to provide detailed disclosures. This highlights the unique challenges faced by mobile medical services in securing sensitive information. Multiple law firms have begun investigating potential claims against Superior related to this breach.
